I sometimes got a gram difference depending on whether I placed the item horizontal or vertical in alignment. The scales are rectangular in a portrait fashion, so I placed the items vertically and as close to the middle as I could. Yeah, there'll be some precision issues on a £20 set of scales ... they're Salter, mind.the MIC tech head weighs 11g total, which could equal the 8+2g of the Sterling (bearing in mind the precision of kitchen scales).
I have two versions of Rapira Tech-style razors (one scarily aggressive, one merely assertive), both of which weigh 16g.
Not sure that's helpful, but it's nice to be a part of something.
Put some pants on masked boy!
I dread to think how your school taught human reproduction
